    Abstract Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of time-restricted meal intake (TRM) on anthropometric and biochemical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
    Methods: A total of 400 patients diagnosed with T2DM were selected from the Endocrinology Department at King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines and specific criteria. A total of 127 patients were lost to follow-up, resulting in 273 patients who completed the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the TRM group (consenting to have an early dinner at 7 pm) and the control group (non-TRM/late-night eater group). Baseline data were recorded, and follow-up assessments were conducted at six months, 12 months, and 18 months. Informed consent was obtained, and a diet chart was regularly maintained and updated.
    Results:  The TRM group experienced a significant weight loss of 3.88 kg (5.45%) and a substantial reduction in BMI by 1.5 units (5.26%). In contrast, the non-TRM/control group had smaller reductions in weight (1.36 kg, 1.77%) and BMI (0.5 units, 1.65%). TRM group showed significant reductions in fasting blood sugar levels by 33.9 mg/dl (21.17%), postprandial blood sugar levels by 94.6 mg/dl (38.88%), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels by 1.37 (15.87%). These improvements were significantly greater than the reductions observed in the control group, which had decreases of 29.3 mg/dl (17.85%) in fasting blood sugar levels, 41.6 mg/dl (16.84%) in postprandial blood sugar levels, and 0.59 (6.89%) in HbA1c levels.
    Conclusion: Our findings underscore the potential of TRM as an effective strategy for weight management and glycemic control in patients with T2DM, even in a long-term context. These results support time-restricted eating as a sustainable lifestyle modification for managing chronic metabolic diseases.

    Abstract Introduction: Time-restricted meal intake (TRM) has shown potential benefits such as enhanced insulin sensitivity, lowered blood sugar levels, and possible weight loss in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our study aimed to investigate the impact of TRM on lipid profile parameters such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in fasting conditions in T2DM patients.
    Methods: In total, 400 patients from the endocrinology department at King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow were enrolled in this study, adhering to the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Male and female patients with recently diagnosed T2DM (in the past five years), aged between 25 to 60 years, on oral anti-diabetic therapy excluding insulin, expressing willingness to provide written consent and to adhere to TRM were included in the TRM group. It was a longitudinal study as diabetic dyslipidemia is primarily caused by insulin resistance and nutritional reasons and we wanted to assess the effect of TRM on lipid profile in T2DM patients. Patients were enrolled via simple random sampling using the random number table method (computerized). The TRM group had an early dinner at 7 pm whereas the control group was of non-TRM/late-night eaters. TRM group was given comprehensive guidance including strategies to manage hunger, permissible beverage options (water and prescribed medication) during the fasting period, and daily maintenance of a diary documenting their timing, type, and quantity of food intake which they were requested to bring fortnightly. Emphasis was placed on recording even minor dietary items consumed throughout the day. The TRM group consumed food ad libitum during a 12-hour eating window from breakfast at 7 am to dinner at 7 pm. Data distribution was non-parametric. Mann-Whitney U test compared TRM and control group using mean values at baseline and follow-ups. Analysis used GraphPad Prism 9.2.0 software (GraphPad Inc., La Jolla, CA). A p-value less than 0.05 (p < 0.05) was considered statistically significant.
    Results: A total of 127 patients were lost to follow-up, resulting in 273 patients who completed the study. The mean value of TC in the TRM and non-TRM groups using the Mann-Whitney U test registered a highly significant p-value <0.0001 at 18 months, with a decrease of 14.17% from baseline in the TRM group and a decrease of 1.53% from baseline in the non-TRM group. The TRM group had a decrease of 24.75% in TG from a baseline value of 145.4±41.9, whereas the non-TRM group showed a decrease of 2.2% from a baseline value of 154.7±37.30 (p-value <0.0001). The TRM group showed an increase of 9.25% in HDL from a baseline value of 50.14±8.58; the non-TRM group showed an increase of 0.82% from a baseline value of 48.62±9.31 (p-value <0.0001). TRM group showed a decrease of 8.62% in LDL from a baseline value of 68.20±16.2 while the non-TRM group showed an increase of 1.54% from a baseline value of 65.38±19.3 (p-value <0.0002). The TRM group showed a decrease of 13.97% in VLDL from a baseline value of 32.20±18.7; the non-TRM group showed an increase of 4% from a baseline value of 30.16±24.2 (p-value <0.0001).
    Conclusion: Our study's promising results underscore the potential of TRM as an effective strategy for managing dyslipidemia in individuals with T2DM, even over prolonged periods.

    Abstract Background: Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to a diversity of symptoms and affects many systems. It is often overlooked or sometimes even misdiagnosed in clinical practice.
    Aims and objectives: The purposes of this study were to report the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency, the spectrum of clinical features and to draw attention to the possibility of rare hidden characteristics.
    Materials and methods: This study was a multicenter, retrospective, and prospective conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital and multispecialty hospital. All cases of vitamin B12 deficiency of either sex or age attending the Medicine Department were enrolled in this study from Aug 2015 to Dec 2020. Parenteral vitamin B12 was given, and cases were evaluated for the response on follow-up for more than three months.
    Results: Of 220 cases, 52.27% were males. Maximum cases were reported from the age group 50 to 65 years (27.27%) and belonged to urban areas (59.1%). The majority were strict vegetarian (86.36%). Among comorbidities, diabetes (20.91%) followed by malabsorption (10.45%) were most common. The cutaneous manifestations were revealed at 38.18%. The most frequent neurological manifestation was paraesthesia (98.18%). Head heaviness/ache was the most frequent (95%) psychiatric manifestation. Anemia was revealed in 87.73% of cases with 88.64% macrocytosis. Axonal sensorimotor (52.63%) neuropathy was a prevalent finding of NCV study.
    Conclusions: A high index of clinical suspicion is needed in cases with vague manifestations, especially in the pure vegetarian population. Early recognition can prevent further damage as most of its related disorders are generally reversible with treatment.

    Abstract Dengue is spread by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is usually a self-limiting viral infection but sometimes complicates to mortality. In the last few decades, literature has shown that clinical and biochemical profile of dengue is expanding due to the addition of unusual manifestation day by day. Hereby, we report a young male student suffering from dengue complicated to retinal hemorrhage and severe pancytopenia who recovered near fully on treatment.

    Abstract Ischemic Stroke is an acute and rapidly progressing neurological disease. Stroke is the second largest cause of global death (5.5 million) after ischemic heart disease. Numerous biomarkers have been identified and studied related to acute ischemic stroke but currently, none of the biomarkers are available for prognostication in such cases. In this study, we measured the levels of four widely available, rapidly measured biomarkers and evaluated their association with the functional outcome at discharge.
    Material: This was a prospective observational study conducted on 81 patients of acute ischemic stroke after obtaining informed consent. A detailed history was taken and clinical examination was done. Serum levels of homocysteine, uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP) were measured at admission and their association with functional outcome using mRS (modified Rankin Scale) were analyzed.
    Observation: During the study period, 81 cases of acute ischemic stroke were evaluated; among them, 13 had a cardioembolic stroke. Ischemic stroke was more common in the older age group. The mean age was 49 ± 16.2 years. 61.7 % of patients were males. Diabetes Mellitus (45.7%), Hypertension (45.7%), CAD (8.6%), Dyslipidemia (27.2%), Smoking (37%), and alcohol intake (29.6 %) were some major risk factors. The average duration of hospital stay was 13.3 ± 7.5 days. 22 cases expired during the hospital stay. Mean serum levels of homocysteine, CRP, and Pro-BNP were higher than normal values (22.7 ± 16.3 umol/l; 59.5 ± 42.7 mg/dl; 1949 ± 3265.7 pg/ml). The mean serum uric acid level was 6.1 ± 3.3 mg/dl. A significant association between MRS score and serum homocysteine was found [p=0.007]. There was also a significant association between Pro-BNP levels and MRS score in patients with cardioembolic stroke (p=<0.001).
    Conclusion: Higher serum levels of homocysteine, CRP, and Pro-BNP are associated with a higher risk of acute ischemic stroke. Homocysteine level at admission can predict the poor outcome at discharge in patients of acute ischemic stroke. Pro-BNP levels can be used as a predictor of poor outcomes in cardioembolic stroke.

    Abstract Background: Thyroid hormones have a very crucial role in the regulation of metabolism, synthesis of proteins, development, and influencing functions of various other hormones in the human body. While both kidneys play an essential role in the metabolism of thyroid hormone by conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3). In patients with chronic renal failure, frequent abnormal thyroid functions are observed.
    Aims: To evaluate thyroid function in patients of chronic renal failure and to find out their correlation with the severity of the disease.
    Methods: A total of 192 patients were selected for the study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. A thyroid function test was done in all enrolled subjects. Serum estimation of T3, T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was done by the chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) method, urea was estimated by the diacetyl monoxide method (DAM, Method), and serum creatinine by Jaffe's method. The results were evaluated for age, sex, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the patients in view of thyroid dysfunction.
    Results: Of all 192 patients enrolled in the study, 124 (64.58%) were male and 68 (35.41%) were females. The observed male-to-female ratio was 1.93:1.18. The mean age of the study group (mean +/- standard deviation, SD) in males was 42+/-18 and in females 38+/-11 years (p value = 0.258). Significant reductions of serum T3, T4, and elevation of TSH were noted in both sexes. A reduced level of T3 was observed in 38.54% (42 males and 32 females) patients, reduced T4 in 34.37% (42 males and 22 females) patients, and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in 16.7% (12 males and 20 females) patients. Biochemical overt hypothyroidism was noted in 7.29% (six males and eight females) of patients.
    Conclusion: Chronic renal failure is a condition of thyroid hypofunction. A higher prevalence of SCH and clinical hypothyroidism is reported here in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The severity of thyroid hypofunction increases with a progressive reduction in eGFR. Hypothyroidism in CKD patients may be due to different onset mechanisms other than anti-thyroid antibodies.

    Abstract Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a subtype of venous thromboembolism, which occurs in the dural venous sinuses. Blockage of the venous drainage of the brain leads to the development of hemorrhages. Strokes can hence develop in any individual, irrespective of age or sex. CVST is a very serious condition requiring immediate thrombolysis to prevent residual neurological deficits. We report the case of a lady aged 25 years, who presented to the emergency department with a severe diffuse headache for 4 days, associated with vomiting. This was followed by multiple episodes of seizures and altered sensorium the previous day. She had been taking desogestrel for the past 2 months. On examination, the patient was unconscious and febrile (102.8 F). On admission, Glasgow Coma Scale score of E2V2M3 and bilateral extensor plantar response were noted. Signs of meningeal irritation were absent. Her pupils were mid-dilated, sluggishly reactive to light, and papilledema was present bilaterally. Based on imaging studies, she was diagnosed with a case of CVST. Her homocysteine levels were elevated. She recovered on appropriate treatment and was discharged on Ryle's feeding tube after 26 days of hospital stay with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of E4V5M6 and a flexor plantar response. The case emphasizes the need to rule out CVST in young adult females on oral contraceptive pills (OCP) presenting with severe neurological dysfunction. Vigilant screening, clinical suspicion and timely management can help cut down the associated mortality and morbidity in such cases.
